No-one likes general adverts, and ours hadn't been updated for ages, so we're having a clear-out and a change round to make the new ones useful to you. These new adverts bring in a small amount to help pay for the board and keep it free for you to use, so please do use them whenever you can, Let our links help you find great books on glass or a new piece for your collection. Thank you for supporting the Board.

Since that has been settled I would like to add that the similarities referred to might show in a smallish photograph but not in the flesh - I know the type of pieces David refers to and they are very different from Mdina in the flesh.

The basic techniques used are inevitably similar but the execution of thos techniques is quite different.

It is a commonly signed pattern - all with the 1930s fleur-de-lis mark

Edited to add:

There is a very nice Steuben Bristol Yellow with Black threading 3 piece perfume set pictured in The Collector's Encyclopedia of American Art Glass by John Shuman III. It says that it is marked with the fleur-de-lis mark also.

I guess all the pieces are fake with fake marks
